Is the cultivation world now only populated by demonesses?

Chapter 110, page 109: Oboroyama
"Long, is this your daughter?"

"Do I, an old man, look like I could have given birth to such a beautiful little girl?"

Granny Long smiled as she looked at the man in front of her.

The man smiled and said, "It's hard to say, after all, you were quite beautiful when you were young."

"That's all in the past."

Another year.

The black-haired girl had grown quite a bit taller. With the help of the red fox, their human community was thriving and had almost no shortage of food.

So the girl is well-raised and now has a tall figure, like a flower bud about to bloom. Although she has not yet blossomed, she already has the potential to amaze the world.

She stood beside Granny Long, holding a large-tailed fox, watching people come and go.

This is a gathering of humans held once every three years.

The location was chosen to be Mount Oboro, the birthplace of Granny Oboro.

The weather isn't great today; it's foggy and looks like it's going to rain.

Granny Long held the girl's hand and explained, "Every three years, each major region holds a gathering like today. On the one hand, it's to see how their respective tribes are doing, and on the other hand, it's to exchange some things."

Today is the gathering of the human race in this area.

The young girl and Granny Oboro brought quite a few animal hides.

The climate varies from place to place, so the means of making a living also differ. They follow the path of hunters, while some people in other places follow the path of planting and raising silkworms.

This led to the formation of gatherings where goods were bartered.

Granny Long gave her a bearskin and told her to go and exchange it for what she wanted.

This was skinned off by the girl and Granny Long after they killed a bear demon that was almost at the second level.

The skins of demons and beasts are not the same thing. This second-realm bear demon's skin has many uses, so it is quite valuable at the gathering. In fact, this was secretly left to her by Granny Long.

The girl hugged the fox and said softly, "I'll change this fur into a dress. Is there anything you want? I'll get you some too. The rest can be exchanged for ordinary clothes and food, as well as some spirit fruits, to take back to the people in the tribe."

She thought of the pregnant woman in her clan who had just given birth.

The baby is so cute, and she even smiles at her. Her chubby little hands are so adorable they melt your heart.

"What a pretty little girl."

someone exclaimed.

The girl's hair is now very long, covering her ears, and it doesn't have the blue-green hair of ordinary spirits, so she looks no different from a human.

It's just too beautiful.

It's normal for people to praise it.

The girl had no choice but to force a smile, and Granny Long told her that this was called politeness.

She slowly walked up to the humans exchanging clothes, pointed to the skirt on the ground, cut off a small piece of bear skin and handed it over: "May I have this dress?"

"Are you sure you want a black dress? I think a lively girl like you would look better in bright colors."

The girl couldn't help but think.

Humans are a race that strives to make the most of their lives even in such circumstances.

She shook her head: "A black dress will do."

The human who made the clothes handed the black dress to the girl: "I made this dress with black silkworm silk, so it's not like I'm taking advantage of you."

The clothes felt cool to the touch, and there wasn't a single loose thread, showing how meticulous the tailor was.

The girl nodded.

The red fox suddenly trembled in her arms, gesturing for the girl to walk away.

"What's wrong? Don't make a fuss, I'll buy you some jerky later."

She has been living and eating with the red fox for a year now. The red fox seems to have integrated into the tribe, and now it has a share of the food. It has also been hunting very diligently lately.

So we should give it a little reward.

"To that side?"

The girl then walked in the direction the red fox had indicated.

There was a very strange stall owner there, whose body was covered by a black robe, yet one could still tell that he was tall and muscular.

The stall owner had a large number of bones laid out in front of him.

Occasionally, people would exchange bones to make weapons, so bones did have a market.

The red fox nudged the girl, gesturing for her to look at the stall owner.

Is there anything strange about the stall owner?
Judging by appearance alone, he seems to be just a tall human being.

wrong.

The girl was suddenly stunned. She was not as quick to shut up as the red fox, but she was a spirit and could vaguely sense the differences between races.

Perhaps it was the influence of so many spiritual symbols on the bones that affected her judgment?
Without waiting for her to think too much.

Boom!

A clap of thunder boomed in the sky, and with it, a torrential downpour began.

The girl frowned: "It's raining, let's find Granny Oboro first."

It started raining, so the party had to be temporarily suspended until the weather cleared up. But just as the girl was about to turn around, her pupils suddenly contracted.

The stall owner in front of me shifted his black robe slightly to avoid the rain, thus exposing his lower body, which was definitely not a human foot.

The foot was rough, with long black toenails and black hair.

Demon!
Why would a demon be at a gathering of humans?

The thunder in the sky grew even more rampant, and amidst the flashes of lightning, it seemed as if some creature was surrounding them from all sides.

The girl turned around almost immediately, grabbed the fox, and hurried toward the center of the party.

Suddenly, a huge crack appeared in the earth, stretching all the way to the foot of the towering Mount Oboro.

No.

We must tell Granny Oboro!
The girl showed signs of anxiety, which was uncharacteristic of her.

late.

Several enormous beings stood in the sky, their powerful auras clearly visible even through the torrential rain.

Spirit Clan, Ape Clan, Bear Clan.

They were in the air, and the bear clan said in a non-human language: "We don't have enough humans in our clan. We need 50% of the humans here."

The Spirit Race member said calmly, "I won't compete with you. I was just passing by and wanted to take a look. I only want the things made by humans."

The Eldar do not raise humans; they only appreciate the clothes woven by humans and the exquisite food they make.

The apes laughed loudly: "In that case, I'll take the other five percent back and use them as targets for the little monkeys in the tribe."

The rain lashed coldly against the girl's and the fox's faces, but they did not feel cold.

The biting cold chilled them more than the temperature, and the two of them, one human and one fox, had lost consciousness.

"Ming, hurry! The news of the gathering has been leaked!"

Granny Long appeared beside them at some point, grabbed Qiu Yuehan's hand, and ran towards the forest with all her might.

The girl quickly realized what was happening, hugged the red fox tightly, and then raised her hand to summon the spirit.

"Don't use your abilities."

Although she didn't know why, the girl obediently put her hands down, simply hugged the red fox, and ran alongside Granny Oboro.

Until a huge rock blocked their way.

A screech came from behind.

There are also snake tribes?

Granny Long suddenly stopped in front of the stone, then turned around and patted the girl's head.

The girl had a very bad feeling.

Her premonition came true.

Granny Long said to her with a loving expression, "There are probably more demons hiding ahead; we can't escape."

The girl hurriedly said, "I will use my spirit to take you out."

"It's no use. Since there are snakes here, if we go out, we'll just be leading the way for them, and even more people will die. This path to survival was deliberately left for us by them."

Snakes have a keen sense of smell and are skilled at chasing, so black mud that can conceal their scent is useless.

If Granny Long were to flee with the girl back to her tribe, the entire tribe would be captured.

“Ming, listen to me, you are not human, you are spirit. As long as you hide well, they will not hurt you.”

Granny Oboro handed a glowing stone to the girl.

This is a flint, a single stone that can keep the entire tribe warm in winter, perfect for resisting the severe cold. This is also the most precious thing that Granny Long obtained when she came to Longshan.

"Take this back with you. Remember, you must take it back. This winter will be very cold."

"Mother-in-law?"

Granny Long patted Ming's head again: "You are a very strong girl. Although you are not human, you have a tenacious heart just like humans."

"No"

Before the girl could finish speaking, she smelled a fragrance and her whole body went limp.

That wasn't the bewitching incense her mother-in-law had just acquired for hunting. The girl's thoughts were hazy.

Granny Long smiled at her, placed her behind a rock not far away, and then looked at the red fox: "Protect her well."

The red fox paused for a moment, then nodded.

"You too, if you ever become successful in the future, remember to lend a hand to the human race."

Granny Oboro reached out her hand, and this time, the red fox did not bite as it usually did, but silently let Granny Oboro stroke its head.

"No."

Granny Long waved her hand, using the grass to cover the girl's body: "You must take the things back; this winter will be very cold."

Heavy rain falls.

This concealed Granny Long's last words.

"Little fox, never argue with her again. She is a very lonely child."
